The 2008 National Finals for Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest will be held at the George Washington University Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC. Semifinal rounds will take place all-day on Monday, April 28 and the Finals will be held in the evening on Tuesday, April 29. Admission is free and open to the public.

You can find out more about Poetry Out Loud and perhaps make plans for your high school or high school student to participate in the contest next year at the Poetry Out Loud website. I think this poetry recitation contest sounds like a lot of fun, and I hope I can get my homeschool co-op to participate.
